MIRACLE WORKER Directed by Kate Whoriskey, stars Academy Award® nominee Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) as Helen Keller and Tony Award® nominee Alison Pill(The Lieutenant of Inishmore) as Annie Sullivan.
The MIRACLE WORKER is staged in the round for the first time at Circle in the Square Theatre (235 West 50 Street).

Set in the South in the 1880s, The MIRACLE WORKER tells the story of real-life Medal of Freedom winner Helen Keller, who became deaf and blind in infancy, and the heroic teacher who taught her to communicate, Annie Sullivan.

The gifted young actress, Abigail Breslin is wonderful in the role of Helen Keller. Alison Pill is extraordinary in her portrayal of Annie Sullivan and Matthew Modine is outstanding as Helen’s father.

It was an moving production and the cast earned a standing ovation.

Peter Graves, the actor who starred in the hit TV series “Mission: Impossible” and whose career took a comic turn in the spoof “Airplane!” has died. He was 83.

Graves was found dead Sunday afternoon in front of his Pacific Palisades home from apparent natural causes, said Officer Karen Rayner of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Graves had just returned from brunch with his family to celebrate his upcoming 84th birthday. He collapsed on the driveway before he could reach his house, said Sandy Brokaw, his publicist. One of Graves’ daughters administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation but was unable to revive him, Brokaw said.

Graves starred in more than 70 television series and feature films, typically playing the straight-laced hero. One of his first major roles was in the 1953 classic, “Stalag 17,” in which he played an undercover Nazi spy placed among American POWs in a German camp.

His most memorable role was in “Mission: Impossible,” the 1960s CBS series in which he played intelligence agent James Phelps, leader of the elite Impossible Missions Force.   The show ran from 1967 to 1973 on CBS and 1988 to 1990 on ABC.

He won a Golden Globe in 1971 for his role.

Michael, one of Marie’s eight children, died after jumping from his downtown Los Angeles apartment at about 9 p.m. on Friday night.   He left a note explaining he intended to commit suicide due to his life-long battle with severe depression that left him, he said, feeling as if he had no friends and could never fit in.
